About Atlas Sporthomes ltd

Our Journey in Crafting Adventure

At Atlas Sporthomes, our journey began not in a workshop, but deep beneath the waves and across continents. Our founder, John, discovered his profound passion for adventure while working and diving in diverse environments around the world. This firsthand experience of exploration, self-sufficiency, and the desire for a true "home wherever you are" ignited the spark for Atlas Sporthomes. ​ Frustrated by the limitations of conventional vehicles and the compromises often found in standard conversions, John envisioned something different: bespoke sporhomes built for genuine freedom and uncompromising quality. He wanted to create vehicles that weren't just transport, but true companions for life's greatest adventures, whether that's chasing the perfect surf, finding untouched trails, or simply embracing the open road. ​ From this adventurous spirit, Atlas Sporthomes Limited was born. We've combined John's global insights and the team's exceptional craftsmanship to transform robust vans into high-end, cutting-edge mobile living spaces. We believe that your vehicle should be as capable and adventurous as you are, providing comfort, functionality, and reliability no matter where your passion takes you. ​ At Atlas Sporthomes, we're not just building campers; we're crafting the foundations for your next unforgettable journey.

Initial Assessment

01

Design-Build

It's time to get into the fun details! We'll start by defining your power strategy (on-grid, off-grid, or a hybrid). Then, we'll choose the best materials for durability and style, from flooring to insulation. Next, we'll plan your layout to optimize every inch of space, whether you want a fixed bed or a flexible living area. Finally, we'll integrate all the essential amenities like cooking facilities, a shower, heating, and Wi-Fi to make your conversion feel like home.

02

Scheduling

Our next step will be to walk you through the build times and schedule. This will include a clear breakdown of each phase of the conversion, giving you a precise timeline, and culminate in an estimated finish date for your new adventure vehicle.

03

Estimating & Budgeting

We'll present a comprehensive budget and estimate, providing complete financial clarity. This will detail costs for everything from the base vehicle (if sourcing) and major system components (electrical, plumbing, heating) to all materials, appliances, labour, and even those crucial miscellaneous expenses like certifications and safety equipment. Our aim is to ensure you have a full, transparent understanding of your investment.

Construction

01

Quality Control

We meticulously oversee every single step, from initial design through to final handover. Using only the highest quality materials and skilled craftsmanship, each build undergoes rigorous checks to ensure flawless execution, unmatched durability, and absolute compliance with all standards. Your bespoke sporthome will be built to last, guaranteed.

02

Safety Management

At Atlas Sporthomes, safety is non-negotiable. We integrate the highest safety standards into every design and build. This means using certified components, adhering strictly to gas and electrical regulations, and performing rigorous testing on all systems. Your sporthome isn't just built for adventure; it's built to keep you and your loved ones secure on every journey.

03

Final Assembly

Where your sporthome truly comes to life. This critical stage involves bringing all the meticulously designed and constructed elements together. It's also the point where any minor, previously agreed-upon changes are integrated and all design elements are officially finalised, ensuring a seamless and complete build. From this point, no further design alterations can be accommodated as we move towards the final testing and handover.
